The study aimed to investigate the current perception and the Attributes most valued when making Online Food Delivery Purchase decisions among Trust, E reviews, Availability, Variety, Incentives, Ease of use, Hygiene/Quality, Convenience, Eco Friendly and Alternative Payment Options and provide valuable information to the Food Delivery Industry sellers with the results obtained. The study was based on the positivism methodology in epistemology, underpinned by a deductive approach on a cross-sectional convenience quantitative sampling method. Primary data was collected from 105 Generation Y participants through an online structured questionnaire.
